yeah don't know how to do that lol

if i put the k&n intake in my car it'd look like this right

it wouldn't go down so you cant see the filter right like some AEM's do

Better than that, the K+N intake tubes come in different colors. Check their website.

i didnt know the aem worked with the SAI. must be a new intake design beause they didnt at first. but anyway trust me, the k&n is probably just the better and safer way to go with the SAI.

and as far as colored intakes go, unfortunately k&n and their distributors websites are wrong. they dont carry colored intakes anymore. just silver. i found this out when i tried to get a blue one for my car and when i tried to get a blue one for my girlfriends cavalier

it will look exactly like the one in that picture. you could always have it painted or powdercoated down the road if you really wanted it blue

The purpose for the SAI tube to run to the air filter box is so that it gets clean/filtered air. If you put a small filter on the end of the tube it will keep it functioning properly.

so would it be more beneficial to get a short ram intake and plug both the sai and the maf sensor in or should i just get a cold air and hook it up normal and just put a breather filter on the end of the sai?
i heard with a short ram you get less power
but you get same effects out of both


also for a cold air do you have to take the front bumper off? or can u install it with it on
